Baglieri D, Baldi F, Tucci CL, 2018, University technology transfer office business models: One size does not fit all, Technovation, Vol: 76-77, Pages: 51-63, ISSN: 0166-4972
Technology transfer processes enable universities to increase their positive impact on society by pursuing their entrepreneurial mission in several ways. By analyzing quantitative and qualitative data collected in a longitudinal dataset of 60 U.S. universities during the period 2002–2012, this article identifies four types of technology transfer business models that may generate economic and non-economic linkages that need to be evaluated. Findings reveal that business models that leverage high-quality research (i.e., catalyst) and startup creation (i.e., orchestrator of local buzz) are associated with higher economic performance. This study contributes to the emergent literature on university business models and provides suggestions to policymakers to incorporate a business model typology in university evaluation programs.
Tucci CL, Afuah A, Viscusi G, 2018, Creating and capturing value through crowdsourcing, ISBN: 9780198816225
Examples of the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing go back to at least 1714, when the UK used crowdsourcing to solve the Longitude Problem, obtaining a solution that would enable the UK to become the dominant maritime force of its time. Today, Wikipedia uses crowds to provide entries for the world’s largest and free encyclopedia. Partly fueled by the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing, interest in researching the phenomenon has been remarkable. For example, the Best Paper Awards in 2012 for a record-setting three journals-the Academy of Management Review, Journal of Product Innovation Management, and Academy of Management Perspectives-were about crowdsourcing. In spite of the interest in crowdsourcing-or perhaps because of it-research on the phenomenon has been conducted in different research silos within the fields of management (from strategy to finance to operations to information systems), biology, communications, computer science, economics, political science, among others. In these silos, crowdsourcing takes names such as broadcast search, innovation tournaments, crowdfunding, community innovation, distributed innovation, collective intelligence, open source, crowdpower, and even open innovation. The book aims to assemble papers from as many of these silos as possible since the ultimate potential of crowdsourcing research is likely to be attained only by bridging them. The papers provide a systematic overview of the research on crowdsourcing from different fields based on a more encompassing definition of the concept, its difference for innovation, and its value for both the private and public sectors.
Tucci CL, Afuah A, Viscusi G, 2018, Introduction to creating and capturing value through crowdsourcing, Creating and Capturing Value through Crowdsourcing, Pages: 1-8, ISBN: 9780198816225
Partly fueled by the pervasiveness of information technologies that facilitate the broadcasting of problems to crowds, and by anecdotal examples of phenomenally high-value solutions from outsourcing some problems to crowds, growth in the research and practice of crowdsourcing for problem solving has been remarkable. Research streams have been emerging in different disciplines. In this introduction to the volume, we introduce twelve chapters by scholars-from different disciplines-who explore interesting topics from some of these emerging research streams. The chapters fall into different groups distinguished by whether value is created and captured via tournament-based, collaboration-based, or hybrid crowdsourcing activities. We also offer future research directions and conclusions.

According to conventional wisdom on crowdsourcing, the number of people defines the crowd and maximization of this number is often assumed to be the goal of any crowdsourcing exercise. However, some structural characteristics of the crowd might be more important than the sheer number of participants. These characteristics include (1) the growth rate and its attractiveness to members, (2) equality among members, (3) density within provisional boundaries, (4) goal orientation of the crowd, and (5) “seriality” of the interactions between members. Therefore, a typology is proposed that may allow managers to position their companies’ initiatives among four strategic types for driving innovation: crowd crystals, online communities, closed crowds, and open crowds. Incumbent companies may prefer closed and controlled access to the crowd, limiting the potential for gaining results and insights from fully open crowd-driven innovation initiatives. Thus, the effects on industries and organizations by open crowds are still to be explored.

Ever since the Internet boom of the mid-1990s, firms have been experimenting with new ways of doing business and achieving their goals, which has led to a branching of the scholarly literature on business models. Three interpretations of the meaning and function of “business models” have emerged from the management literature: (1) business models as attributes of real firms, (2) business models as cognitive/linguistic schemas, and (3) business models as formal conceptual representations of how a business functions. Relatedly, a provocative debate about the relationship between business models and strategy has fascinated many scholars. We offer a critical review of this now vast business model literature with the goal of organizing the literature and achieving greater understanding of the larger picture in this increasingly important research area. In addition to complementing and extending prior reviews, we also aim at a second and more important contribution: We aim at identifying the reasons behind the apparent lack of agreement in the interpretation of business models, and the relationship between business models and strategy. Whether strategy scholars consider business model research a new field may be due to the fact that the business model perspective may be challenging the assumptions of traditional theories of value creation and capture by focusing on value creation on the demand side and supply side, rather than focusing on value creation on the supply side only as these theories have done. We conclude by discussing how the business model perspective can contribute to research in different fields, offering future research directions.

The circumstances for shifting to new kinds of economies and to new ways of doing business are compelling, with the concept of the sharing and circular economies opening up novel ways to reconcile the quest for growth and business value with the environmental prudence perspective: "doing more with less". The evolution of Sensing Enterprises is expected to capture new business value across supply chains and drive digital business innovation to undiscovered pathways in product design, development of product-to-service approaches, customer engagement and internal structure and performance. In this paper, a glimpse of the business models innovations that are relevant for Sensing Enterprises is provided, leading to the elaboration of the research challenges to accelerate new forms of enterprises, mainly along the following dimensions: (a) Collaborative, Real-time, Proactive Business Analyticsas-a-Service, and (b) Innovative, Web-based Business Models for New Kinds of Economies.

Flores M, Torredemer L, Cabello A, et al., 2012, Understanding customer value and waste in product Development: Evidence from Switzerland and Spain
To achieve a Lean Product Development Process, it is necessary to define the value for the customer and eliminate waste. Therefore, the objective of this paper is twofold: 1) to present the state of the art about existing methods to assess customer value and define the different types of waste that can be identified in the product development process and 2) to summarize the results of eleven face to face interviews done in different companies located in Switzerland and Spain to understand how these latter firms define value and waste, and the practices which these companies are currently using. This research supports the results of the LeanPPD project funded by the European Commission (NMP-2008-214090), which is developing a methodology to measure value from customers? perspective. © 2012 IEEE.

Ginsberg A, Hasan I, Tucci CL, 2011, The influence of corporate venture capital investment on the likelihood of attracting a prestigious underwriter: An empirical investigation, Advances in Financial Economics, Vol: 14, Pages: 165-201, ISSN: 1569-3732
Prior research underscores the critical role of prestigious underwriters in shaping the success of the initial public offering (IPO) process, particularly for young firms that do not have much of a track record. Recent scholarly work has shown that the likelihood of a start-up securing a lead prestigious underwriter is influenced by its ability to provide important signals of organizational legitimacy, as conveyed in the employment experiences of the firm's top management team. Building further on theories of organizational attention and decision making, this chapter seeks to examine whether lead prestigious underwriters also consider different types of signals of organizational legitimacy that might be suggested by the existence of ties between young firms and corporate venture capital (CVC) investors.Analysis of 1830 IPOs during 1990-1999 indicates that having a tie to CVC investor provides added legitimacy value over that provided by independent venture capital investors alone. Further analysis of 315 IPOs affiliated with CVC investors suggests that prestigious underwriters pay attention primarily to endorsement-rather than resource-related signals of legitimacy when it comes to CVC ties, and that they pay more attention to investment screening prominence than to business management prominence when it comes to endorsement legitimacy. We also found that prestigious underwriters pay more attention to signals of IPO legitimacy provided by CVC investment in IPO markets that are hot than those that are cold. Our findings provide important theoretical extensions to the study of the certification value of interorganizational affiliations and its impact on IPO success.
